Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 2 June 2024 - eviltoast

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    And here are my favorite sneers from the comment section

    This guy gets fucking dunked on for not reading the room and claiming that black guys might actually be better boxers, genetically.

    And this guy thinks that weight classes are for wokies.

    Honestly, I’m starting to think this post was threadworthy just from the comment section alone.

      weight classes are for wokies

      This used to be a Joe Rogan staple: no weight classes, no time limits and the ring should be the size of a basketball court.

      It’s really just the umpteenth reiteration of the meathead mantra of how I’d do really well in [popular combat sport] if it weren’t for those pesky rules holding me back.

        Fucking lmao. Imagine being as big as Joe and wanting to fight in a ring the size of Kansas where you can’t go the distance.

        You def wouldn’t need weightclasses though, the featherweights would just have to run until the heavyweights pass out from dehydration/exhaustion. It’d be like the hunger games

        And despite the fact that whatshisname wants to secure a future for himself and his heavyweight white children, he doesn’t capitalize “white” at any point. To be honest that was the only part that was surprising.
